English academic revolutionised device connected to internet? (4)
I believe the answer is:
node
'device connected to internet?' is the definition.
(part of a network)
'english academic revolutionised' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'academic' becomes 'don' (type of academic - especially at Oxbridge).
'revolutionised' says the letters should be written backwards.
'e'+'don'='edon'
'edon' written backwards gives 'NODE'.
(Other definitions for node that I've seen before include "Knob or lump" , "Point in network where lines intersect or branch" , "Swelling - point of junction" , "Thickened enlargement" , "part of network" .)
